    Hi. I'm a bit confused about what tyre presure i should be using, .. the tyres on my bike are still the original ones that were on the bike from new ( it's only done just over 6k miles, Although i'm the 3rd owner ) .. I don't know what make they are, probably some cheepo make, it doesn't say anything on them as to what presure to use, but in the owners hand book it says 28/32 but i have read on other websites that there is now a general standard of 36/42, Do you use the presure that the owners manual says or go by the brand of tyre, ( or a mix of both) .. What did those of you that have /had a divvy use (pressure wise). Sorry about all of the questions, maybe t…

    to a sheep! whilst out dualsportin on the klr i encountered a flock of sheep being moved from one field to another half a mile up the road. not a farmer in sight, no dogs etc. then i noticed the sheep at the back had got caught in a cattle grid! so i thinks i'd better try and lift it out being the kind sole that i am. let me tell you something, sheep weigh a fooking ton! how pete does it i don't know anyway so i had to lift its legs out which thankfully weren't broken and try and get it off the cattle grid. i eventually found the farmer at the other field and told him about it and why the hell did he have them going over a cattle grid?! coont didn't even say thanks th…

    After being bullied by Beezkneez to join, I thought I'd best get a round in, who wants what from the bar. Background: North East, on 2nd R1, I trashed the first within 25 miles when some daft bird* in a Ford Ka pulled out on me, been on two wheels for last 5 years * Daft Bird is a technical term

    Well this is my latest adventure and it was truely amazing. I had an aerobatic flight is this little plane, a Pitts Special 2A. I got to do barrel rolls, loops, snap turns, stall recovery, inglerom manauvres and every other type of manouvre you can think of ! Unfortunatly though it wasnt the slightest bit scary, i thought being such a little plane it would be jumping all over the place. But to be honest the plane ride was so smooth it felt completly normal whilst doing all the aerobatics. The only annoying thing was that i really wanted to know how much g we were pulling in some of the manouvres but it was waaaayy to much to get my head forward to see the …

    It was a challenge on the ice between two and four wheels stars at Madonna di Campiglio. Despite the sub-zero temperature almost five thousand people thronged to the Ice Karting arena at Madonna di Campiglio to take in an exhibition including Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer, Loris Capirossi and Carlos Checa. The organisers of Wroom, the traditional Ferrari meeting dedicated to the specialist press on the snow at Campiglio, is now in its 15th year. This year, the spectators had the rare chance of seeing the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro stars lining up against the Ducati Marlboro Team. Unfortunately, Carlos Checa was unable to take part in the rac…

    Hi, Ever gone into a bend with chevrons plastered everywhere only to find it wasn't a bend at all just a flat out kink, or, the other way round gone barrelling into a non chevroned bend to be confronted with the mother of all bends and had to anchor up sharpish. Here's an idea, howabout changing these inconsistant signs with rally notes on signs. (Stay with me). Instead of the wiggle bend sign how about a bloody great sign that say LEFT 3 INTO SHARP RIGHT FOLLOWED BY FLAT 6 Even better FLAT 6 INTO BROW, WHEELIE 3RD GEAR Well i was bored at work today!

    I'm waiting for a shed to be delivered so that my pride and joy has somewhere dry to live. At 5am today I was woken up by a noise outside. My beloved Exup was lying on its side on the lawn - a victim of these 80mph winds! The wind had got under the cover and caused the bike to fall to the right. I can't see any damage but shall have a look when it gets light
